When is it? July 20-26th, 2008
Where is it? Camp Constantin is near Mineral Wells Texas on Beautiful Possum Kingdom Lake
How much does it cost? The fee is $190. Troop 1191 T-shirts are $10.00. If you need a cap they are $5.00. Most boys will want some spending money for the camp store, $25 to $30. There is also a $5 Travel Fee for scouts unless their parent is driving.
When do I have to pay? Final payment is due June 2, after this date the cost is $220.00
Can Parents come to camp? Yes, but we must register you as an adult leader. It's easy to do. Many parents come for part of the week. The adults will coordinate the times to maximize the adult coverage at camp.
Do I need a medical form? Yes every boy must have a Class 2 form, signed by a doctor. It's good for three years. If you've been to the doctor in the last year, they will usually backdate the form to that date without a new appointment.
Do adults need a medical? Yes, and if your over 40, you must have a Class 3 form, updated every year.
Where can I find the forms? Right here .. Click for Class 1/2 Click for Class 3

Will there be parents meetings? Yes, at the Debic House - 1308 Dunbarton – 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. – Monday, July 7th Check the Troop Calendar for details and updates.
The
first year scouts will
need to be wearing their swim suits so they can swim and be tested
for summer camp swimming requirements.
If the other scouts would like to swim, they are invited. First year scouts... please bring your
scout handbook as well so we can mark off the requirements.
Don’t
forget to bring all remaining documents to this meeting (as requested by my
previous email.)
Is it really necessary to go to camp? Summer camp is "GREAT" fun and will be one of the most memorable times your son spends as a youth. Also many of the scout badges are difficult to get anywhere else.
